I had a lot of hope in this man. But that slogan of hope was just an election stunt. He is no different than George Bush, just a different color.

It also shows despite the claims of US being a strong democracy, only very narrow interests steer the country. There are no policy changes from the previous regime, just rhetoric expressed in very eloquent speeches.

I m surprised Obama and his team has no policy for Pakistan. They are stumped for answers. Drone attacks is not the answer to everything. They have a new killing machine which they use against civilian populations to show us who is the boss. They are good at it - killing innocent civilians in meaningless wars.

Obama orders

US President Barack Obama has ordered a “sharp increase” in drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas in recent months, website Bloomberg quoted two officials on Saturday.
According to the report, the US officials said that they expect Pakistan to halt CIA operations in the country in retaliation to the drone strikes, and shut down the only air base being used for drones. However, Pakistani national security officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to Bloomberg, claimed that all CIA officers working on the drone program were expelled and the drones were now being launched from bases in Afghanistan.
The US officials were further quoted as saying that Obama’s decision to increase drone attacks reflected the “mounting US frustration with Pakistan over a growing list of disputes”.
US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta had stated on Thursday that the United States was reaching the limits of its patience with Pakistan because of the safe havens the country offered to insurgents in neighbouring Afghanistan. Pakistan, on Saturday, rejected Panetta’s statements and said that he was “oversimplifying some of the very complex issues we are dealing with in our efforts against extremism and terrorism”.
Three drone strikes in as many days on suspected militants killed 27 people this week in Pakistan. To lodge its protest against the “illegal” drone attacks, Pakistan had summoned the US Charge d’affairs Richard Hoagland to convey the government’s serious concern over the issue.
 
I wonder at what price was the deal done? .. Any Zardari confidantes?
 
Pakistan should tactically arm the tribals with anti air guns and stingers..then blame it on ISAF/NATO inability to control porus afghan border..All of this drama is happening over the NATO supply line closure issue....which means it is seriously hurting their bottoms!

Pakistan has been targeted more by Indians via their proxies.
We need to take out Indian network in Pakistan before taking on foreign invaders.
Indian network in Pakistan was harbored by ex interior minister and ex foreign secretary., basically we have to start with these two individuals.
One has already fled to India and other one has transferred his family and is ready to flee any moment.

Come on man you want to compare casualties on proxy wars by both the countries....create another thread...FYI Kashmir insurgency has already taken over 50,000 lives....so better be on topic.......talk about drone strikes and possible implication of increase in its frequency.
 
I think by now it should be clear to Pakistan & Pakistan Army as well that US has declared war against Pakistan, it is like what Panetta said "....we are at war with Pakistan.....". Don't know what more prove we want & because of drone attacks things in Pakistan are getting pretty bad & US Embassy Inducing US consulates in Pakistan are spreading terror, hatred & racism in Pakistan.
